A nearly Prooflike example of this lower mintage Civil War. Only 21,000 circulation strike three cent silvers were struck, and they are quite scarce in GEM with coins graded finer extremely rare. Extraordinary, reflective luster beams boldly from the fields. There is a touch of moderate reddish gold/blue by the peripheries. Essentially flawless, the only marks revealed by a powerful glass are mint made clashes and die striations. The details are actually needle sharp in strike and thickly frosted. Yes, there is some contrast and the eye appeal is incredible! PCGS 25, NGC 11, CAC 11. There are three graded MS66+ and just a half dozen graded finer. This impressive beauty sold for $9,350 back in December 2018. We expect it will bring a similar price today! Perfect for a Civil War set, this is finer than the BigMo Collection coin that was MS66. Good luck! Cert. Number 25029846 PCGS # 3682.00
